Who is LSU's QB? I read somewhere they had a transfer from Harvard (maybe I heard that wrong) of all places.
You heard right.
Andrew Hatch. Originally recruited by LSU's QB coach for BYU when the coach was at BYU and the kid was in high school in Nevada.
Went on a Mormon mission to Chile and hurt his knee playing soccer.
Came home for an operation. Went to Harvard for one year and played in the JV game against Yale with one running and one passing TD.
Walk-on at LSU last year and earned a scholarship. One game against Middle Tennessee with 1 for 2 passing and 27 yards running.
He hurt his shoulder and went redshirt, so this is his second season for eligibility.
After him are the 3 Freshmen with Jarrett Lee of Texas battling Hatch for the starting job.
After those two there is Jordan Jefferson. Think Jamarcus Russell less 50 pounds. Got a good gun and is a pro-type passer with 40 TD's and 7 INT's and a 21-0 W/L record his last two years St. Rose HS in Destrahan, LA, where his junior season was cut short by a broken wrist.
Then there is a another Freshman, T.C. McCartney from Boulder, CO, whom I know absolutely nothing about other than he is currently assigned unie #17.
Bayou Bengals reported last Sunday for camp and Les has his first media day report at 5:10CDT today, so it will be interesting to see how this week has things shaping up.
Other than that, it's 22 days, 6 hrs., 47 min., and 20 secs. to kick-off.
But who's counting?
